The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find out how much sweets Jatin has left after some were spoiled. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the total amount of sweets and the spoiled amount:** - Total sweets Jatin got: \( \frac{31}{4} \) kg - Spoiled sweets: \( \frac{29}{6} \) kg 2. **Set up the equation to find the remaining sweets:** - Remaining sweets = Total sweets - Spoiled sweets - This can be written as: \[ \text{Remaining sweets} = \frac{31}{4} - \frac{29}{6} \] 3. **Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators (4 and 6):** - The multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, ... - The multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, ... - The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12. 4. **Convert each fraction to have the same denominator (12):** - For \( \frac{31}{4} \): \[ \frac{31}{4} = \frac{31 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{93}{12} \] - For \( \frac{29}{6} \): \[ \frac{29}{6} = \frac{29 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{58}{12} \] 5. **Subtract the two fractions:** - Now we can subtract: \[ \frac{93}{12} - \frac{58}{12} = \frac{93 - 58}{12} = \frac{35}{12} \] 6. **Conclusion:** - Jatin has \( \frac{35}{12} \) kg of sweets left. ### Final Answer: Jatin has \( \frac{35}{12} \) kg of sweets left. ---
